“Ann Dvorak: Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel” is TCM’s Book of the Month!
Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 305
It gives me great, great pleasure to officially announce that Ann Dvorak: Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel has been selected for Turner Classic Movies November Book Corner! This means that it has a featured spot on their website, is highlighted in the November issue of their magazine Now Playing, and will get a nice shout out on air all month.
I have known about this since July and have been keeping it under wraps – partially because the fine folks at TCM requested that I stay mum, but also because I though it was too good to be true and that they would change their mind at the last minute. I’m still pinching myself!
I don’t think it’s possible to get a better endorsement than this, and I want to extended my sincere gratitude to Shannon Klute over at TCM for making this happen.
There just so happens to be a couple of Ann Dvorak movies playing in November, though I think this was a nice coincidence. Either way, hats off to Turner Classic Movies for throwing their considerable weight behind Ann Dvorak!
(Confession time: I don’t actually have cable – I would be watching cake shows on Food Network all the time if I did – which means I do not have TCM. If anyone is able to record the monthly news highlights in between films that will mention the Ann Dvorak book and send me a copy, I would really appreciate it!)
Fabulous news! And congratulations again.
You know, I think Ann heard this news yesterday and then donned her ‘bat’ costume to favor us with an impromtu dance of elation. True?
Anyway, have a fudge and pralines on me. Because ‘first time authors must eat!’
Post the times and dates of anything you would like recorded. Also, would you prefer BluRay, DVD or both types of disks…
Thanks! I like to think Ann donned her bat suit to fight crime. Maybe my next book will be about Ann Dvorak – Superhero.
Hey Dick – The only thing I need is the snippet of monthly news that TCM runs in between films but I do think there’s any way to know when they’ll show it. Any format works and you can bring it to the book launch party. ;D
Congratulations . This book is going to be a hot seller!
Thanks Vienna! I hope you’re right!
